Thought from the Word

“Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.”

The ordinance of baptism is very important.When we are born again the Scriptures instruct that we are to be baptized.Now that is not what saves a person.But it shows forth that we have been born again and we are baptized as a testimony of our salvation experience.It indicates our sinful life is buried and we will walk in the newness of our new Christian life.This is all done by God’s power.Baptism is associated with repenting of our sin, believing the message of Jesus and becoming a member of God’s family.Have you had the experience of being born again?
